farenhite? I'm not sure what that would be in Celsius but as long as the water is not freezing over I'd say they're still good, just gently bring them up to inside temps (:

I think $5 is very close to £4 which is very cheap but I don't think we have like big country wide hatcheries, or if you're even allowed to ship chicks here like I've seen in videos from in the US. Day old chicks from private breeders are £5-£10, I'd rather just hatch my own haha, much more fun (:

Lovely chicken!

It does reek! I've lessened my flock to just eight birds but they must've cost me £20 each! Ridiculous prices...

I've been reading up a lot on MG lately and talking to the poultry vet, I'm having my birds tested for a colourful variety of things so hopefully mine don't have this and haven't passed it onto my chicks ):

I have been doing just that! I take hand sanitiser to my allotment and use that regularly after cleaning out the coops, cleaning ducks pool out, the dirty jobs... ew. I change my shirt after going there and I have my chicks upstairs so I have nothing on my feet that could be carrying anything...

I'm pretty sure thats normal for chicks. Mine were a bit unsteady but got to their feet in a day or two

Always on the lookout for CRDs, can never be too careful! Is there any preventative help I can give them to avoid CRDs? I'm in England if that helps?

Wow, have not updated you guys yet! All 6 eggs are fertile and doing great! Today is day 4 and this is what they look like, sorry it's so hard to see but you can see some of the viens, they remind me of Dory's 'Squishy' when they swim about!

Thanks, I nearly started searching every possible thing that could be wrong with them, silly me

I haven't seen anything that would indicate AI, unless it's a silent killer? they're really active and I'm super impressed with their growth. I will look out for lethargy and runny noses and the like. Thank you (:

As far as I know hens' eggs stay fertile for around 10-14 days after being mated. So after that, if stored correctly, they'll stay viable for upto 12 days? I've kept some of mine for ten days and they still hatched. The chance your hens will go broody especially in winter is pretty slim and...

Maybe it will happen a few times, maybe you get a perfect egg, maybe you don't get an egg, it can take some time to perfect egg laying (:

Okay, thank you! I was starting to worry a little

I hear one sneeze every few hours, especially after they've had a dig about or a drink

Seen as though the little dudes wanted out I gave them some sand this time(: I think I've got two girls and a boy, I hope I'm right! The one I expect to be a crow maker is the middle one. And a question, if anyone could help. They keep sneezing but I've seen no mouth breathing or discharge...

Hi! Haha, would be nice, my chickens like the sun much better! I'm from East Yorkshire (:

So I came home from the allotment today to some escapees... They're so big already!

If they lived in the uk I'd gladly help :)

Well what're you going to do with him when grows up? He needs a companion of some fluffy animal sort, he still needs food and water providing once he's older and you'll need somewhere to lock him up at night if there's any predators where you live. When he's 5/6 weeks he can live outside so...
